Description

Halloween is here once more and it's time to make a game in a month!



Ever read a story that started out all happy and cute and sweet and then something happens that just twists it into the horror territory abruptly? Say, oh, a young, innocent girl makes friends with a fluffy magical creature who gives her magical powers but she slowly dies every time she uses them? Or, hey, best friends go on a picnic together, only for one of them to kill the other in a jealous rage over a boy?

Cute stuff can turn creepy very fast, and that's what the aim of this Halloween event is this year! Creating a cinnamon sweet premise with a terrible twist ending!

Let's go kill some cuties!



- You have one month to make the game, starting from 12:01am 1st of October until 12:01am 2nd November.
- Games must have a game page! Please make sure to have them done a week before the end date!
- Games must abide by the rules of the site.
- There must be at least 10 minutes of gameplay!
- Any resources and engine are fine. (May I point you towards the RMN Music Packs 1 and 2 for free to use music?)
- Resources cannot be made for this event until it starts.



- Create a game page for your game before the 26th.
- Upload your game to the page when it is accepted.
- Come to this page, click Submit in the heading and choose the download.



If you'd rather I don't stream your game after the event, do let me know via PM here or DM on Discord.

awesome!!! Thanks for playing my game, Lib! I would have dropped by but I've been a bit...preoccupied with some current event stuff, haha. Maybe next time! I'm excited to see what you think. :D

I'll add the youtube versions (with time stamps) in the OP when they're done. GG all!

Badges will be gifted some time tomorrow!
The streams are over (and links to will be added to the OP when published!) so I figure I'll weigh in on my personal opinion:

Cutest Game
Mirra and thh Crimson Catastrophe - The style and characters were incredibly cute and I was waiting for the penny to drop! The fact that the game was a teaser made me very sad ;.;

Cruelest Game
Little Maddie Dear - Geez, that attic map was incredibly mean and cruel! And the ending was very bittersweet. It left me feeling all kinds of bummed out, but in a good way. That last scene... damn. Also, the art was really cute!

Saddest Game
7 Minutes - The fact that this was inspired by one of our owns' experiences and pain really touched everyone who was watching in chat at the time and I know I was fighting back the tears. :<<< (BTW your mapping has gotten so much better! Great job!)

Most On-Brand Game
Feed Your Pet - Not only was this incredibly painful but I teared up at the end. So mean! So cute! So sad! :<<<

Favourite Game
Cuties and Clues - Cute detective animals looking for a killer was very different to the rest of the games and just what I needed to get out of the funk that some of the earlier games had put me in! It was really well polished and a great little game too! Great job! If this were on sale on steam I'd buy it.

The Rest
Jamie - The dungeon was really great, but that's to be expected in a Deckiller game. Also has the second-most-punchable character RE: Jamie's mother.

Amarok's Howl - I still can't get over Sedna's story. Jeez! Worst father of forever award or what?!

Zack's Cute Game - Guys... don't just stop when you think you're safe unless you know you're safe for sure. Jeez, someone hadn't seen any horror movies! Rose pls.

And My Dog Loves Me - As a cautionary tale against wagging tongues, well, it works but jeez, that amped up from 0-100 very quick at the end! XD

FIENDS - Bonus points for the Succubus making me laugh! Piano never disappoints with pithy one-liners~

Whispers in the Dark - I feel bad for all the adventurers just making their way through the 'perfectly innocent' forest with all those traps left laying around!

A Cat in Ghost Town - Any game that lets me make myself OP is okay in my book! :D

Thank you for the stream Liberty. I'm glad that you enjoyed my game :D

It made me aware of a few more bugs so I'll be trying to fix those. And I like the suggestion of grayscaling dead characters and find another way to indicate innocence.

I'm glad with how well received AMDLM was.
That was the wildest myth I've ever heard, and I've heard some pretty wild myths in my time. Jeez!

Glad I checked this page when I did. Didn't even realize there was stuff going on today (and in such a short amount of time). I'll make sure to be logged in just in case I need to give myself a stern talking to like last time.
Will the games be played in the alphabetical order like during the last event?
The event might have ended, but I fixed a couple of bugs in Cuties & Clues.
It was nothing major but those who want to download the updated version should head to the gamepage: https://rpgmaker.net/games/11790/downloads/

EDIT: oh, it seems that if I update the download on the gamepage, it also updates the entry on the event page?
Only 1 more day better i will roll back
AHEM

Because I'm an idiot and miscalculated days and times, you have another 20-ish hours. I meant it to end on the 2nd (thus, Midnight of Sunday) and not the 1st. I'm sorry, I fucked it up!

If you want to polish up and/or fix some bugs, you have time!

Thanks lib!!! I always forget that the site doesn't run on my local time, that's on me. :P I really appreciate it!

(Okay, it's uploading! Internet is bad, so it'll take about a half hour-ish, but it's on its way to being playable)

EDIT 2: All submitted!! thank you for the extra time, my internet died twice basically and i had to drive somewhere else to make it work lmao. Have fun!
